Apple-Cinnamon Bundt Cake from Everyday Food

I love me the Bundt cake. Perfect in shape and easy to serve. Oh, Bundt, I salute you.

The recipe is from Everyday Food (from the Martha empire). It has six (6) Granny Smith apples...therefore, it's practically health food! (Just ignore the TWO STICKS OF MELTED BUTTER). You don't even need a Kitchen Aid mixer. Rock on.

This cake is similar to my Mom's Apple Cake but baked in a Bundt pan. My mom's recipe uses veggie oil and this one uses melted butter. I think you could probably exchange things - or even make it healthier with some yogurt or applesauce. But I was too tired to deviate. I just added 1 teaspoon of vanilla because I believe practically everything sweet should contain a bit of vanilla. Things are just happier with vanilla, don't you agree? :)

This cake is packed full of apples!

The glaze on top is powdered sugar and water...I think I made mine a bit thin. Next time, I'll use less liquid.

You DO love the bundts, but they always look so great. You should check out Kiss My Bundt on 3rd and Crescent Heights! Good for you for volunteering this weekend. I am going to see if I can make a (small) donation.
